Lightgun

The House of the Dead III, Virtua Cop 3, Ghost Squad

Driving

Crazy Taxi High Roller, OutRun 2, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2

Only the player 1 controller (the first controller in EmulationStation) is used for the game controls. Player 2 has Start / Coin on the keyboard only, except in the lightgun games with two guns.
Test (0) and Service (9) are always on the keyboard.
To use your own mapping, set AUTOCONFIGURE CONTROLLERS to OFF and configure the controls in xemu-chihiro.

Gamepad (player 1)

The buttons use the Xbox names (A = bottom button). With a Nintendo layout pad, enable INVERT FACE BUTTONS (Controls) to swap A/B and X/Y.

Specific system information

ROMs

XEMU-CHIHIRO

Xemu-Chihiro requires game roms in bin format, this tool can be used to convert a MAME recent romset file into the required format:

GitHub - Tovarichtch/chihiro-netboot: Convert MAME/Redump Sega Chihiro dumps into playable netboot images.GitHub

CXBX

Chihiro roms come in the form of a folder containing multiple files including .xbe files.

The game folder must be placed in the \roms\chihiro folder.

Usually the .xbe file ending with t (e.g.vc3_t.xbe) is used to run the test menu.

The Test menu contains options that can be adjusted within the game itself, such as aligning the crosshair for lightgun games and changing the difficulty.

On xemu-chihiro: access the test menu with 9 and 0 on your keyboard
On cxbx: run the .xbe file ending with "t" to enter the test menu.

Use Cerbios firmware (XEMU)

Download the Cerbios firmware and rename it 'Cerbios.bin', place it in the retrobat\bios folder.

In RetroBat advanced options for xemu, select the firmware:
